The stock speculation to-day developed more hopeful
and confident tone from the opening OF business First
nrces almost invariably showed advances on last even
ines figures which IL Will be remembered were recorded
as peing strong The change In the general temper OF
the market was partly due to the higher dispatches from
London but particularly TO the utter Iailure Oh
bearp tactics to create more than fractional depres-
sion in values The only special feature of the market
was the continued decline for Fort Worth ana Den
yer from SO 10 527s; the stock recovered
however to DILL There seems 10 be
little question that the old "short" interest has praet
cay quidated by calling at the captains Office and pay
ing the differences IL Is notable however that although
the stock today sold 10 per cent lower than 1t did three
DAYS ago. 1t was without minimum OF effect upon the
general market The total business OF the day aggre-
gated 900 shares only $1,000 shares moro than
Yesterdays business. The Improvement was general
and well distributed through the list OF active and mac
tive stocks Measured by shares OF 500 value NewforK
and New-England contributed the largest amount OF
business and was only second In making the best advance

Volume thirty-three of Bancroft 's Works deals with Alaska, comme.i. cing under Russian rule. In the par titlon of America by European pow. CTS there was no reason why Russia should not have a slice of the plum der. It was only few miles from her native possessions to Alaska, 50 Russia took it, and might if they had been smarter, have taken great deal more.
 The volume gives very interest account of the country since 1t has come under American rule, giyin E more reliable details that has before been published of the topography of the country, it's resources, climate and chief products. "What do you consider the most important act of your political career, MT. Seward ?" asked friend of the great statesman.
